Description of problem: When issuing chkconfig <name> with no extra arguments in order to check if a service is enabled, and the service in question is missing, a chkconfig usage message is printed. This is bit inconventient if you have setup scripts etc. that that check if a certain service is present, and has been enabled. In the past, chkconfig would just return with exit status 1 in this case, i.e. have the same behaviour as for a service that's supported, but not enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.30.1-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. chkconfig fakeservicename Actual results: chkconfig version 1.3.30.1 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc. This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License. usage: chkconfig --list [name] chkconfig --add <name> chkconfig --del <name> chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset|resetpriorities> Exit status is 1 Expected results: No output exit status is 1 Additional info: I'm not interested in made-up service names like the one above of course, but I want to be able to use chkconfig to check the status of services that are associated with optional software components. I want exactly the same behaviour whether these are installed and disabled, or not installed at all.
